IMPORTANT: You must now set all wireless network cards/adapters to match these settings. 27 Using the Belkin Wireless Network Utility Configuring your Belkin Wireless Card to Use Security At this point, you should already have your wireless router (or access point) set to use WPA or WEP (see "Securing Your Wi-Fi Network" section of this manual). In order for you to gain wireless connection, you will need to set your Card to use the same security settings. Connecting to a Wireless Network using 64-Bit or 128-Bit WEP: To enable the security settings for the Card, you must select a network from the "Available Networks" tab or a profile from the "Profiles" tab and follow steps 1-3 of "Setting up Wireless Network Profiles" on page 18 before continuing. Step 1 ­ Select either "Open System" or "Shared Key" from the "Authentication Mode" drop-down box. Most networks with WEP use "Open System" key type. Step 2 ­ Next, depending on the WEP security settings the router (or access point) you are connecting to may be using, select "64 bits" or "128 bits" from the "Encryption" drop-down box and click "Next" to continue. 28 Using the Belkin Wireless Network Utility Step 3 ­ The next screen allows you to select the encryption key "Input Method" using alphanumeric, hexadecimal, or passphrase. Most WEP encryption keys are hexadecimal consisting of letters A through F and numbers 0 through 9. The method you choose should match the same method used by the router (or access point). Select the "Input Method", enter in the key and select 1, 2, 3, or 4 from the "Key Index". Step 4 ­ Click "Complete" to save the security settings and the new profile.
